I dusted off my old 2k OK list and changed it up slightly. I swapped in Maneaters for the Ironguts and switched the Slaughtermaster and Bruiser so they're in more appropriate units for what they do. The Firebelly still hangs back till he can do the "flying fatboy" thing.

Taking out the Ironguts is not a good idea, they're much much better than Maneaters, who aren't really very good.

Your BSB is crucial to your army, not having him kitted out to survive is not a good idea.

That Firebelly is going to die exceptionally quickly. Keep him on foot, and he doesn't really need to be a level 2.

That Mournfang unit is too small to be kitted out so much, get up to 4 first. They also don't need a champion.

A couple more Sabretusks would be great.

I understand where you're coming from. I just can't resist the idea of a sniper + scout against opposing casters/regenerators/war machines.

Explain. He's a BSB so can't have magic items and he already has heavy armor and ironfist which is about all I can give him. If I were to give him a Bigname, I'd likely choose Brawlerguts over Deathcheater or Mountaineater.

I can see losing the extra wizard level. I don't see how keeping him on foot will increase his longevity.

I wish I had the points for four. Lacking that, I went with the champion for the extra attack.

Again, where do I get the points for them?

How's this for a slight changeup?
